BERKELEY (Sept. 8) -- Pacifica Radio today announced the appointment
of veteran Voting rights activist Terry Bouricius as the part-time National
Elections Supervisor for the network's upcoming Local Station Board
elections.

Bouricius replaces outgoing Elections Supervisor David Greene who is
returning to his studies this fall.

Terry is presently a senior policy analyst for the Center for Voting and
Democracy, a Washington-DC based advocacy group that seeks to
expand and deepen voting rights and voter participation.

Terry knows the US electoral system inside and out. He was elected five
times to the Burlington City Council in Vermont and served one term as
President. In 1990, he was elected as a Progressive to the Vermont
House of Representatives, where he served until 2001. He decided not
to seek re-election to the House of Representatives in order to work full
time with the Center for Voting and Democracy promoting voter-friendly
election reforms.

Terry has been a leader of numerous low-income neighborhood
organizations, living-wage campaigns, and peace movements. He
served as president of the board of directors of the Champlain Valley
Office of Economic Opportunity. He has also been involved in
single-payer health care reform, campaign finance reform, anti-racist
campaigns, Central America solidarity movements, and anti-corporate
WTO efforts.

Terry will continue the work of developing uniform election policies and
procedures for Pacifica as well as outreach and education materials. He
will finalize the five local election coordinators for Pacifica's five station
areas.
